POL (formerly MATIC) is the native token of the Polygon ecosystem, an Ethereum-compatible scaling platform. Polygon PoS provides fast, low-cost transactions compatible with Ethereum, while the broader Polygon 2.0 vision connects multiple ZK-powered L2 chains through the AggLayer. POL is used for transaction fees, staking, and governance across the ecosystem.
Polygon PoS is a sidechain/commit chain that uses its own validator set (staking POL) to achieve fast finality, periodically submitting checkpoints to Ethereum mainnet for security. The Polygon 2.0 roadmap transitions toward a network of ZK-based L2 chains unified by the AggLayer, which aggregates ZK proofs across chains to enable seamless cross-chain transactions. MATIC migrated to POL in a 1:1 swap starting September 2024. POL has a 2% annual emission rate (1% to validators, 1% to a community treasury) allowing the ecosystem to fund development and incentivize validators who can secure multiple chains simultaneously.

Ethereum mainnet's high gas fees make many use cases economically unviable for everyday users. Polygon provides an Ethereum-compatible environment with fees often 100x lower than mainnet, enabling DeFi, payments, NFTs, and gaming at scale. The AggLayer vision aims to unify fragmented L2 liquidity, solving the cross-chain interoperability problem for the Ethereum scaling ecosystem.
The AggLayer cross-chain settlement layer enables multiple ZK L2 chains to share liquidity and interoperate atomically, positioning Polygon as the coordination layer for the entire Ethereum scaling ecosystem.
